All you need to know about the music business

Book • 2023
Dubbed 'the industry bible' by the Los Angeles Times, this book has been the definitive guide to the music industry for over thirty years.

Now in its eleventh edition, it updates readers on the profound changes in the music business, particularly the impact of streaming, which has monetized music based on the number of streams rather than sales.

The book also discusses the mega-million-dollar sales of artists’ songs and record catalogs, the influence of TikTok, music created by AI, and the latest numbers and trends.

It is essential for musicians, songwriters, lawyers, agents, promoters, publishers, executives, and managers, offering a broad overview of the industry and practical advice for navigating its complexities.
